    Hello Everyone,

    I am new to this forum and stumbled on to it while researching the Tacoma. I live near Snohomish and am trying to find a good dealer who will be fair on my trade and price of a 2015 Tacoma. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    I got my Tacoma used from Foothills Toyota in Burlingtion, they were ok, I got my truck for the blue book price after playing the car dealer game for a couple days. Salesman's name was Keith.

    Rodland was on the top of my list and I recall hearing an accent when I stopped by the dealership. Everyone says they'll give you the best deal. I just want what's fair and not spend eternity negotiating.

    Thanks!

    Its been a few years since we have bought anything through them so I can't remember but their prices are good.. Except for the "Trd pro" 4runner look alike in their showroom..

    I just got mine the other day. Nearest dealership for me is Puyallup Toyota on River Rd. So we will see how that goes. Anyone know a better place to take the truck for the inspection??

    Can anyone shed some light on this frame inspection letter? I bought my 2010 used and haven't received any recall letters from Toyota. Thanks

    Go with an auto broker. You don't even have to go on a car lot and they do all the work. The price you pay will probably be significantly cheaper, and the experience is a lot more in your control. I went with AutoLand and was very happy with their service.

    Does anybody have a recommendation on a shop to install a King Suspension setup (front and rear's w/ remote res) + AAL and UCA's? My normal shop said they wouldn't do it (just don't do enough of them). I live in Snohomish county, and would be willing to go to North King county as well.

    Thanks

    Mule Expedition Outfitter in Issaquah will do it for about 100/hour. I have only heard of Auburn Auto and Offroad from other people.

    Buy enough beer and hamburgers and people here will help you install it. Then you learn at the same time too. That's what I did.

    Thanks JDAM, Northwesttaco suggested MEO as well. I just made an appointment with them. I tried the friends route but everyone kept flaking on the time. I have had this lift sitting in my garage for over a year, its about time it goes on.

    I live in Snohomish County. I'll help install a lift. I disassembled my F250s suspension and re-arched the the springs so I have some suspension experience.
